WorkSafe Tasmania has commissioned an independent review of the Asbestos-Related Diseases (Occupational Exposure) Compensation Act 2011. Amongst other things, the review will assess the extent the Act provides for:

  • appropriate compensation, for people who have contracted asbestos-related diseases in the course of their employment
  • the prompt resolution of applications and payment of expenses
  • certain judgements and agreements about contracting asbestos-related diseases in the course of a worker’s employment.
